Thanks Tarek. She is beautiful above and below decks. I'll bet it must seem like forever for that ship to arrive with your beauty on board.

Thank you Lionel..........finishing the last details on the boat seems to take ages. All I want now is to get her over here and start cruising. Shouldn't take long now......I hope.

Graphics applied.......she has started her voyage to Egypt yesterday. She will be transported to Lavrion, Greece and from there I will take her on her own hull to Egypt.

I suppose, T/T Nazly is on the tender on the platform as well before it was wrapped up for shipping...or does that have to be done afterwards?

Dear TK-F430,

I believe congratulations are in order too. Think about affixing one of these (if you believe in this sort of thing of course) somewhere.

Cheers,
vivariva

Dear Tarek and Vivariva,

I don't want to play the know it all, but as I've read it somewhere the evil eye amulet has originated from ancient Egypt and actually it is one of the great success stories of alchemy. The original was a stone named "lapis lazuli", which is widely used in ancient Egypt jewelry and amulets. The alchemist of the time ventured to create something similar and accidentally they found the way to make glass. The dark blue color attracts the evil eye and the glass breaks, saving the object or person who could be the target of the jealousy.

Indeed, it is somehow a prejudice in our part of the world that people with blue eyes may harm more by their look.

You are correct Nilo.
"Lapis" in Latin means "a stone" and "Lazuli" means "blue" or "sky" in Arabic. In ancient Egypt the Lapis Lazuli was Osiris's, the Sky God's gemstone. The Lapis Lazuli since then was used as a powerful charm to remove an evil spirit.

In Turkey you call it the "Nazar Boncuk", the Little Magic Stone that protects one from the Evil Eye.
